The influence of the powder of nettle on the quality parameters of pasta

This article defines the physical and chemical parameters of the finished product based on a new technological recipe using corn flour and Urtica dioca l. powder. According to scientific data, the chemical composition of nettle leaves consists of vitamins C, K, b, panthenonic acid, formic acid, carotene and calcium.
